DT Tywone Malone (Official thread)

WITH HIS FOCUS NARROWED, OHIO STATE DEFENSIVE TACKLE TYWONE MALONE COULD HAVE “GREAT IMPACT”​


Tywone Malone knows that the pressures of hard work make diamonds, but to realize a gem of a football career, he had to let his ambitions go on another type of diamond.

His whole life, the Ohio State transfer portal addition had played baseball. He desperately wanted to pursue both sports in college, to the point that the Buckeyes were eliminated from contention in his initial recruitment when they only offered him a chance at one.
After two seasons at Ole Miss, however, reality set in. Malone’s football career had started to take off. He saw the field in 13 games in 2022 and made 10 tackles. As for baseball, he only appeared in six of the Rebels’ first 29 baseball contests and went a measly 1-for-10.
It was time for a change, both in attention and in location. Malone retired from baseball and entered the transfer portal.
“I had been playing it my whole life,” Malone said. “It’s different not playing it, but I just feel like it was the best opportunity for me and my family to focus on football.”
